Eva Carson


Eva Carson is a Maryland artist who paints still-lifes, landscapes and large scale murals. Her media vary from acrylic, oils, pastels, oil sticks and colored pencils, and often are used in combination. Whether working on a still-life, a landscape, or even a commissioned mural, Eva strives to capture and emphasize strong contrasts, vibrant colors and light in her paintings.  She also often uses unusual vantage points for her compositions, adding an element of abstractness to her otherwise representational paintings. She graduated from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA and has studied with various artists, and participated in workshops and classes in Maryland, Virginia and Germany.  She has been a member of the Maryland Federation of Art since 1995, was a member of the Board of Directors of MFA from 1997- 2003 and President from 2001-2003. She is a member of the Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painters Association and has painted on location in Maryland and has recently captured landscapes in other locations, such as Florida, Nevada, Maine, Texas, Vermont, Tunisia and Greece. Eva’s mixed media work on paper was featured in "American Artist" magazine in an article entitled, “When One Media is Not Enough”. Currently her work can also be seen at  The American Crafts Collection on Main Street, Annapolis and Bishops Stock Gallery in Snow Hill, MD. Her large scale murals are in many private homes and her largest mural commission has been the  Baltimore Harbour School, creating the “Harbour School Village”. She is currently working on another large scale mural commission, painting the Annapolis Harbour School. You may reach her at evakellercarson@gmail.com.
